Run Haiti is a 3 day stage race that will take you from the palace in Port au Prince, up to majestic mountains, down to the Caribbean ocean. This can be one of the most challenging and fulfilling adventures you will ever have. This run is not for the faint of heart or narrow minded, or the faint minded or narrow hearted. If either applies please do not register for this particular race. Your time and money can be spent in other fulfilling ways.
The milage breakdown is 99% double/single track, windy, hopping over pigs, weaving through villages and markets, and dodging a moto for 75 miles. The first day crawling up 5,000 ft for 17 miles to rest in the town of Furcy where the air is fresh and crisp. This will be a sharp contrast from the overcrowded streets of Port au Prince that you ran away from. The second day you will leave Furcy the gate way to the mountain pass to transverse a well traveled route to the Parc La visite. To get to the Park Le Visite you will have to transverse 9,000 feet of climbing before you arrive at the pine forest. Here in the pine forest the single track will begin as you weave through trees, pass a waterfall, a sink hole, and a small town called Seguin, our 2nd day destination. Your bone tired body will fall asleep under the stars at the top of the world after a hearty meal of rice and lamb. The third day you will have a final down hill 26 mile run to the ocean. It is up to you to hammer down the hill or slow down and take in the sights as you begin to see the Caribbean ocean in the distance. Where else can you experience such an amazing culture, beautiful people, and breath taking sights as you push your body to its limits?
